Conservative Self Love. Musk's most notorious statement recontextualized to mad beats.
I attended the Supreme Court of #Texas on Wednesday to help @deceleration cover a unique case involving #Indigenous religious freedom, pandemic restrictions on churches, and a cormorant rookery in a San Antonio park.

4 political family Christmas card photos.
3 are posed with guns.
The lower right is Gov #Walz posing with his kids, their dog and cat.
One of these things is not like the other.

I love how Business Insider's best idea is to tell people to abandon all hope and run away as the way to avoid the effects of climate change. Brilliant that.
now. where. do. people. go?

I see a lot of anguish and complaining about what the new administration is doing and... we are not powerless.
75 million of us voted against this.
We're going to have to do what the populations did in so many other countries.
We're going to have to be in the streets. And it's going to have to be millions of us. And it's going to have to be sustained. Days. Weeks. And it's going to have to be directed also at the fat cats and tech bros and banks and corporations... all the bootlickers.
I'm not an activist. I don't know how to organize this. But I guess I will try to find organizations that will.
I'm no student of history. Maybe it's futile.
But I don't think it is. I hope it's not.

If you see me happily posting pics of my dogs and cat or making endless corny dad jokes itâs because I am utterly terrified whatâs going to happen in November and I donât really have anything useful to say that everyone else can do so much better.
Now if I appear to be carefree
It's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to shield my pride, I try
To cover this hurt with a show of gladness
Watching the US debate and itâs fucking terrifying.
We really are (in both UK and US) creating the perfect conditions for fascism or something very much like it.
But can we be fucking clear. This is not the fault of the people refusing to vote for increasingly shitty Labour/Democrat candidates.
This is the fault of Labour/The Democrats for being shitty and embracing the exact narratives and economic positions that empower the right.
DOHA, QATAR (The Borowitz Report)âLast week Qatar inked a historic agreement to acquire a president of the United States, Emir Tamim bin Hamad al Thani confirmed on Monday.
But even as Qatar touted the acquisition, critics argued that the president it bought was in poor condition and not fully functional.

If Trump really gets his military parade, someone in DC has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever

See how this article about replacing #Biden totally ignores Kamala Harris and boosts Gavin Newsom? Even though only Kamala Harris can use the funds Bidenâs campaign has raised, if it comes to that.
I suspect that this is what itâs all about. Newsom has a track record of supporting very neoliberal, anti-labor, poverty-punishing policies, something Biden does not really do and presumably Kamala Harris wouldnât do.

If you are worried about [GESTURES AT EVERYTHING] then I have good news for you: the #PoorPeoplesCampaign has just kicked off its 2024 #GOTV campaign. We are going to get 15 million poor and low-wealth Americans - infrequent or first-time voters - to the polls.
Poor and low-wealth people make up 30% of the electorate but they donât vote or they vote infrequently. If we can change that we can radically change election outcomes and American politics.

Where is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia? What has the govt done to facilitate his return? And if nothing, why is the Supreme Court allowing their ruling to be ignored?

The perfect candidate to step in for Biden will be the one who is confident looking out over the massive crowd gathered for his or her ascension and saying:
âAnd to my Republican friends⊠[restrained catcalls & boos] âŠto my Republican friends, my party and I welcome the fight ahead! And I urge you, please, pleaseâdo not do what we have done; stick with Trump!â
Vance ~2016:
Trump is a demagogueâthe âfruit of the partyâs collective neglectâ and might even be Americaâs Hitler
Vance 2024:
Iâll join him

Stop calling the Orange Thingâs performance BS a ânews conferenceâ. What he does is not ânewsâ. There is nothing new in a pathological liar and bullshit artist. It is a lies conference. Nothing but a conference of lies AND NO REAL-TIME FACT-CHECKING.

The bridge theyâre closing for the military parade, according to the NPS, has a limit of 10 tons. The United Stateâs main battle tank, the M1 Abrams, weighs ~60 tons.
So if they include those tanks, could get interesting.
âdescribing Donald #Trump as an absolute existential #threat to #democracy is 100% accurate. His ability to rip away our allegiances that we formed, & the diplomats know this, that are so critical, not just to Europe, but for the entire planet.â

If you haven't already, or perhaps if you want to again, @heidilifeldman has a #MastodonForHarris #actblue campaign to raise funds for VP Harris's presidential campaign to defeat #Trump.
I think the goal was $1,000 (lol) but we're going to the moon.

Two Reminders as the Republican National Convention Begins:
1. No Republican since Reagan has delivered strong job growth, while every Democrat has.
2. Unemployment and inflation are lower today under Biden than when Reagan ran 1984 Morning in America reelection ad.
